When I was a kid, before there were VCRt, my parents had a movie projector, and we'd watch Frankenstein and Dracula. I just always though that stuff was cool - creepy comics and monsters and horrific stuff. Music lends itself to that whole theme.

You can see it in people's faces, when they're into a metal band. It's cool to see that being passed on.

That's what metal means to me, feeling that feeling when you hear something that totally turns you on.

I've got friends in bands who seem like they're always on tour, even still. It may be in some people's blood. I'm sure some bands do it just to earn a living or for the experience.

Soccer matches in Europe have riot police. Metal is just people sloshing around drunk and sloppy and having fun, and there's nothing wrong with that. It is a great outlet for aggression.

People get so upset about lyrics, and they're probably totally cool with horror movies. That doesn't really make sense.
